Pork is one of my favorite foods to cook — and eat. It is so versatile and can be cooked many different ways. Pork tastes great paired with other sweet foods ( think BBQ, applesauce). I am always looking for new ways to exploit this tasty pairing so when I saw a bottle of carrot jam in my pantry I knew exactly what to do. This pork is roasted in sweet carrot jam and served with a carrot, roasted red pepper and tomatillo salsa. The salsa adds a sweet and sour flavor that makes it a requirement with each bite of pork.

Pork Jamman Man

Ingredients:
  • 3-4 pound pork roast, bone in
  • 1 1/2 cup carrot jam
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 5 whole carrots, washed
  • 2 tomatillo’s, diced
  • 1/2 roasted red pepper, diced
  • 1 tablespoon butter.

Prep: To prepare, mix 1 cup of the carrot jam with the brown sugar. Rub all over the pork roast. For maximum flavor, let the pork sit overnight to marinade in the wet rub.

Roasting the Pork: Place whole carrots in bottom of baking dish. Place roast on top and cover with tin foil. Cook in pre-heated 325 degree oven for 1.5 to 2  hours. Actual cooking time will vary depending on size. Use a meat thermometer to determine done-ness. I cook this pork recipe at a lower temperature than many pork recipes because I want the pork really tender. When the roast is done, let it sit for 10 minutes to allow cooking to finish and the juices to settle.

Salsa: In a sauce pan add 1/2 cup carrot jam, tomatillo’s and roasted red peppers. Bring to a boil and reduce to low for 10 minutes. Stir in butter just before serving.

Serve: Cut up pork and plate. Spoon salsa on top of pork. Serve whole cooked carrot on the side.
